In the realms of ‘Why on earth would anyone even think of doing that?” followed by ‘Someone must have done it to warrant the warning’, comes this that I saw on a website when I was searching for quicker way to defrost a freezer:

A gun? Really???

The only mystery here is “gun,” I think. All the others, I can easily see someone using as a closest-to-hand sort-of chipping-style tool that could be wielded to speed the process. Especially as the ice starts to melt and it looks like maybe just giving it a whack will make it come off in a big hunk.

Then again, I don’t have a gun, and maybe it’s more common than I think to use it as a generic blunt instrument. Are many people injured each year in gun-used-as-substitute-hammer accidents every year? I wonder.
